Salt Marsh Suite

Date:

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 to Sunday, April 27, 2014

Location & Time:

Moss Arts Center - The Cube

Organized in five movements, Salt Marsh Suite is an original video/sound installation and performance. Based on field observation, 3D laser scanning, imagery and sound recordings collected in a North Carolina coastal estuary, the piece connects art and science, weaving the lines between the lives of the marsh animals and plants and the strong environmental (and human) forces that shape their existence. Salt Marsh Suite is a collaborative work by a group of faculty and regional artists.

Salt Marsh Suite is in the Cube, a state-of-the-art facility for experimental work connecting the arts and technology located in the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech. This event is sponsored by the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) with support from the School of Performing Arts and the School of Visual Arts.
